Innovative Payment Solutions Announces IPSIPay Express, a New Business Line to Broaden IPSI’s Digital Payments Services Into the Fast-Growing Online Gaming and Entertainment Sectors

Innovative Payment Solutions, a fintech provider of robust and proprietary digital payment platforms that enable transfers of money by means of convenient, cost-effective, fast, and secure systems, announced that it has entered into a new line of business called IPSIPay Express, a three-way joint venture with payment industry veterans OpenPath and eFinityPay to develop and market a proprietary consumer to merchant real-time payment platform initially focused on the fast-growing online gaming and entertainment sectors.
IPSIPay Express will provide merchants with technology for payment processing that allows for seamless, secure, and instantaneous transactions, in real-time bank-to-bank account transfers (from customer bank account to merchant bank account) at costs lower than those currently available from credit or debit card processors. The proprietary technology incorporated into IPSIPay Express will also seek to end losses due to “friendly fraud” and substantially reduce consumer chargebacks, all of which are expected to provide significant value to merchants and operators in the online gaming and entertainment sectors.
Importantly, IPSI believes that the IPSIPay Express business should be ready for launch and could begin to generate revenue for IPSI during 2023. IPSI expects to use any revenue from IPSIPay Express to fund the continuing commercialization and development efforts for its flagship IPSIPay mobile app and working capital.
OpenPath, headquartered in Irvine, California provides payment solutions to companies processing large volumes of online payments. Scott C. Dorey, OpenPath’s CEO, stated: “We are very pleased to partner with IPSI and eFinityPay in this promising new venture. We believe the innovative payment technology that will be at the core of IPSIPay Express will be a game changer for merchants operating in so-called “high-risk” industries like online gaming and entertainment. The IPSIPay Express account-to-account solution is in high demand by those merchants as it dramatically reduces chargebacks, processing costs and funding time for merchants. We look forward to launching IPSIPay Express to merchants on the OpenPath platform.”
eFinityPay, founded by CEO Franklin Levy and based in Los Angeles, California, specializes in delivering stable merchant processing solutions to e-commerce merchants in the online casino, sportsbook, entertainment, and video gaming businesses.
As part of the joint venture, OpenPath will market IPSIPay Express to its existing and future merchant customers; eFinityPay will be responsible for developing and incorporating the online payment technology into IPSIPay Express as well as marketing to its substantial network or merchants in the targeted fields; and IPSI will be responsible for providing banking contacts to IPSIPay Express as well as potential access to new capital to support the IPSIPay Express business. IPSI is eligible to receive up to one-third interest in IPSIPay Express by contributing up to $1.5 million of capital to the joint venture by the end of this year.
William Corbett, IPSI’s Chairman and CEO, commented: “We are excited by the new opportunities IPSIPay Express will provide for us. We believe this joint venture has the potential to diversify our revenue channels and provide payment solutions to an online gaming and entertainment segment that is growing and generating tens of billions of dollars in revenue annually. The IPSIPay Express alternative payment platform, combined with OpenPath and eFinityPay’s considerable experience and relationships with the biggest merchants in the gaming and entertainment industries, should help drive growth at IPSIPay Express. In addition, IPSIPay Express will provide a simple, secure, and easy to use payment experience. We anticipate this will enable the Joint Venture to gain wide acceptance by online merchants and their customers. This new venture with experienced partners, will expedite our path to revenue, and allow us to drive the continuing launch and development of our flagship IPSIPay app.”

Caesars Entertainment Debuts IGT’s Kitty Glitter Grand Slot Across its Online Casino Platforms and Inside its Atlantic City Resorts

Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced it is the first in the industry to launch IGT’s newest installment of its beloved slot title, Kitty Glitter Grand. The game is now live across Caesars Palace Online Casino, Horseshoe Online Casino, and Caesars Sportsbook & Casino in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Michigan, West Virginia, and Ontario. It’s also available at Caesars Rewards destinations in Atlantic City, including Caesars and Harrah’s, with Tropicana set to join the lineup soon, subject to final regulatory approval.
This debut marks IGT’s first simultaneous exclusive launch of a game both online and in casinos in the US. As a result, Caesars is currently the only place where fans of the Kitty Glitter franchise can experience this latest installment, whether in person or online.
“The popularity of Kitty Glitter Grand speaks for itself across gaming floors at our Caesars Rewards destinations, which is why we couldn’t be happier that our players will be the first to enjoy the newest title in this renowned brand’s history. We know how impactful exclusive launches can be, so we’re grateful to our partners at IGT for their trust in partnering with us on their first simultaneous online and in-casino launch in the United States. We’re committed to bringing first-to-market, unforgettable experiences to our online casino players that can’t be found anywhere else,” said Matthew Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.
“The exclusive launch of Kitty Glitter Grand is another shining example of how we’re strengthening the powerful connection between our world-class destinations in Atlantic City and beyond with our dynamic digital platforms. We’re uniquely positioned to deliver exclusive, first-to-market gaming experiences that our guests can enjoy both on the casino floor and from the comfort of their home. This launch underscores our commitment to offering best-in-class entertainment wherever our players choose to engage,” said Barron Fuller, Regional President at Caesars Entertainment.
For more than twenty years, Kitty Glitter has been a fan favorite in brick-and-mortar casinos, and its enduring popularity continues to captivate players. This latest installment offers an enhanced gameplay experience with recognizable collection features that players already know and love from the original Kitty Glitter game, while adding even more compelling new enhancements. Both new players and fans of the original can enjoy an added wheel bonus and random wilds in the base game, which help boost these themes to the next level.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Caesars on the exclusive launch of Kitty Glitter Grand, a title that builds on one of IGT’s most iconic brands. This first-of-its-kind simultaneous launch across online and land-based channels in the U.S. reflects our commitment to innovation and delivering engaging content that resonates with players wherever they choose to play,” said Nick Khin, CEO of Gaming at IGT.
In celebration of this special debut, Caesars plans to host an exclusive VIP event for select Caesars Rewards members at Caesars Atlantic City in August. The Company is also running an omnichannel promotion at its Atlantic City destinations and a special leaderboard promotion across its digital platforms in all jurisdictions where it offers iGaming, excluding Ontario.

NCPG Celebrates Senate Action on Military Gambling Addiction Research

The Senate Appropriations Committee approved a key provision in the FY26 Senate Defense Appropriations Bill that would, for the first time, make gambling addiction an eligible research topic under the Department of Defense’s Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program (PRMRP). The decision marks a historic step in addressing gambling disorder as a behavioral health condition impacting active duty servicemembers and Veterans.
The provision was championed by a broad group of lawmakers, led by Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-NM), and supported by more than two dozen state affiliates of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG), as well as leading operators from the gambling industry including FanDuel, BetMGM, and MGM Resorts International.
“The Committee’s action will finally give researchers, local VA clinicians, and military health officials the ability to better understand and address gambling addiction among those who serve. We’re grateful to our allies in Congress, industry partners, and the public health community for making this progress possible,” said Derek Longmeier, President of NCPG’s Board of Directors.
According to recent research from NCPG, nearly 20 million American adults report experiencing at least one problematic gambling behavior “many times” in the past year. Although this research suggests that the risk for gambling problems may be stabilizing, military communities remain disproportionately affected.
Gambling addiction is one of the most under-researched behavioral health conditions among military populations even though servicemembers are twice as likely as civilians to experience gambling problems. Nearly 40% of veterans who seek treatment for gambling addiction report having attempted suicide.
“Servicemembers and Veterans facing gambling addiction deserve the same level of support and understanding we’ve worked to build around PTSD, depression, and other behavioral health challenges. This provision is a critical step toward recognizing the realities our military community faces and ensuring the federal government invests in the basic, foundational research needed to support recovery,” said Sen. Ben Ray Luján.
Congress previously mandated annual screenings for gambling disorder in the FY2019 National Defense Authorization Act. However, without federal research funding, military and local VA clinicians lack the data and tools necessary to facilitate early intervention or provide evidence-based care.
If enacted into law, the FY26 Defense Appropriations bill would establish the first federally recognized pathway for research into gambling addiction in the military. The bill now proceeds to the full Senate for consideration.
